A woodland retreat with a cottagecore soul, just moments from Aspinwall! Tucked into a beautifully landscaped, nearly half-acre setting, this enchanting 4-bedroom Gunnison home feels like an escape from the everyday. Meandering garden paths, mature trees, and peaceful wooded views create a storybook setting, while thoughtful renovations bring modern comfort to a home rich in vintage charm.
A little piece of American architectural history, Gunnison homes helped pioneer innovative factory-crafted homebuilding. Here, that heritage shines through. Follow the long driveway to a welcoming front patio beneath a pergola, where the cottagecore charm begins before you even step inside.
Enter the cozy hearth room, where original windows lend nostalgic character, a wood-burning insert adds warmth, and radiant wall heating panels provide additional comfort. An adjoining fourth bedroom offers flexibility as a home office, guest room, or creative studio.
From the hearth room, step into the beautifully remodeled 2023 kitchen with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, new appliances, generous workspace, and a thoughtful custom layout. Beyond, the home opens into a spacious living and dining area where warm wood paneling adds character and abundant windows frame the surrounding greenery. Sunlight pours into this wonderfully flexible gathering space, with plenty of room to dine, entertain, or simply enjoy the view.
Down the hall, three additional bedrooms offer generous closets, including a primary bedroom with sliding doors opening directly to the spacious rear deck. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the trees, dining outdoors, or enjoying a quiet evening in your own woodland retreat. An updated full bath with a step-in shower completes the space.
And then there are the gardens—the true magic of this property! Recognized as an Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania Certified Backyard Habitat, the grounds welcome birds, butterflies, and pollinators. Meandering paths wind through established perennial gardens with dozens of native trees, shrubs, flowering plants, ornamental varieties, and a beautiful Japanese maple collection. Generous garden beds stand ready for spring planting—vegetables, herbs, or even more flowers! Nearly half an acre offers changing color through the seasons, inviting corners to explore, and a StormWorks rain barrel for thoughtful stormwater collection. Part secret garden, part woodland sanctuary, entirely enchanting!
The charm is timeless, but the improvements are meaningful: kitchen remodel (2023), bathroom remodel (2022), wood-burning insert by Comfort Living Fireplaces (2019), Trane A/C (2016), front steps (2024), and deck, railing, and sliding glass door updates (2024). Also noteworthy are the 2026 sewer line update, basement waterproofing measures including French drains and structural brackets by Champion Waterproofing, retaining wall improvements, numerous lighting updates, and fresh Greek Villa interior paint in October 2026. The long driveway provides convenient off-street parking.
The setting feels worlds away, yet everything you love is wonderfully close. Located in the Fox Chapel Area School District, this home is just moments from Aspinwall's shops, cafés, restaurants, and riverfront recreation, with Fox Chapel and Sharpsburg dining, breweries, parks, and conveniences nearby.
A little history. A little whimsy. A whole lot of heart. Some homes simply offer a place to live. This one invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and fall in love with coming home.
